06.Nov.2004 Moore. "Wenn die Medien nach einem Trend Ausschau halten, dann sollten sie das berücksichtigen:
Dass so viele USA Amerikaner - zum ersten Mal seit Kennedy - bereit waren, einen waschechten Liberalen zu wählen."
Das Land sei immer schon voller konservativer Evangelisten gewesen; das, so Moore, sei keine Neuigkeit.
"Eine Neuigkeit ist, dass so viele Leute sich einem Liberalen aus Massachusetts zugewandt haben."

06.Nov.2004 -heute- Michael Moore, Polit-Aktivist + Satiriker ("Fahrenheit 9/11"), veröffentlichte auf seiner Website eine Liste mit
"17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists" - 17 Gründe, sich nach Bush [BGW968] s Sieg nicht die Handgelenke aufzuschlitzen.
Mut machen, nicht verzweifeln, lautet die Devise.
Zur Einleitung zitiert Moore aus dem Monty-Python-Film "Das Leben des Brian": "Always look on the bright side of life!", rät er den Kerry-Anhängern + Bush [BGW968]-Gegnern +:
"Es GIBT einige gute Nachrichten von der Wahl am 02.Nov.2004 Dienstag".
Was dann folgt, ist größtenteils selbstironisch und amüsant, teils haarsträubend komisch + manchmal ein wenig bemüht optimistisch.
These eins: "Es ist gegen das Gesetz, dass Bush [BGW968] noch einmal für die Präsidentschaft kandidiert". Laut USA Recht darf ein USA Präsident nur zwei Amtszeiten absolvieren.
Bush [BGW968]s deutlichen Vorsprung von 3,5 Millionen Wählerstimmen gegenüber Kerry [KFJ966] sieht Moore nicht als überragenden Sieg:
00.000.1916-02.Nov.2004 -seit- Wilson, Woodrow " Bush [BGW968] s Triumph war der knappste Gewinn für einen amtierenden USA Präsidenten.
" Bei 300 Millionen USA Amerikanern, von denen 200 Millionen wahlberechtigt sind, so Moore, seien dreieinhalb Millionen Stimmen Vorsprung "kein Erdrutsch":
"Ich meine: Wir haben es fast geschafft! Stellt Euch vor, wir hätten mit 20 Millionen verloren."
"Wir haben den Großteil der Frischwasser-Vorräte"
Ein paar weitere Beispiele:
These 3: "Die einzige USA Altersgruppe, in der die Mehrheit für Kerry [KFJ966] gestimmt hat,
waren die jungen Erwachsenen (Kerry [KFJ966]: 54 %, Bush [BGW968] : 44 %), was
einmal mehr beweist, dass eure Eltern immer unrecht haben + ihr niemals auf sie hören solltet."
These 6: "Michigan hat für Kerry [KFJ966] gestimmt!
Genauso wie der gesamte Nordosten, die Geburtsstätte unserer Demokratie; genauso wie sechs der acht Great-Lakes-Staaten.
Und die gesamte Westküste! Plus Hawaii. OK, das ist ein Anfang.
Wir haben den Großteil der Frischwasser-Vorräte, den ganzen Broadway + Mount St. Helens.
Wir können sie also dehydrieren oder unter Lava begraben. Und keine Musical-Soundtracks mehr!"
These 12: "Gebt es zu: Wir mögen die Bush [BGW968] -Zwillinge + wollen nicht, dass sie verschwinden."URL: https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/0,1518,druck-326539,00.html
